How does it make sense? Did Comcast have to/did they block my access to RARBG while it still existed? No. I get removing piracy content on their own instance, but blocking other instances is not necessary.
The problem is that the admins are all just volunteers and the instance doesn't exist to make money. If a big company decides to sue them, even if they are in the right, they will be drowned in legal fees.
Not to mention, legality doesn't need to be a question if the admins of Lemmy.world get drowned in legal fees before even having to appear in a court. The rich don't exist by our laws and idk why anybody expects differently at this point.
